7 Animals with the Shortest Age, Below 1 Year.

If we previously discussed 6 animals that can live eternally, we will now discuss animals that have the shortest life, whose lifetime is under 1 year. If the average animal has a lifespan of many years this animal is just a few months old, even some of them only a few hours. With a shortage, of course, these animals take advantage of the time as possible, especially to find food and breed.

1 | Chameleon

1 | Chameleon

The panther chameleon is only 1 year old. This chameleon is the chameleon with the shortest age among reptiles and other chameleons. The panther chameleon comes from the North and East parts of Madagascar. They exhibit a fast mating behavior due to their relatively short lifespan. Interestingly, the entire adult chameleon will die before the next generation hatches from the egg. Rapid color changes are the most striking characteristics of chameleons. So they can be easily disguised in the neighborhood. Chameleon's favorite foods are crickets and worms.

2 | House Mouse

There are 5000 different species of dragonfly in the world. Their maximum age is about 4 months. But most of the dragonflies will not live long because they can be easily eaten by spiders, birds, lizards, and frogs. Strong winds and harsh climatic conditions also keep them out as dragonflies from larval forms. Dragonflies also cannot fly easily after the completion of the larval stage. This condition makes them too easily eat with reptiles and birds. They also can not live longer in cold conditions.

4 | Flies
